Um... no... a ST185 / ST205 tranny will not work for a FWD setup...

But like you said, the MR2 Turbo tranny should work... and so will a Solara tranny.

whats a BEAMS swap?

Beams engines are 3sge's with VVTI(valve lift and all that good stuff. I hate to say this, but it's Toyota's version of VTEC)

so this is a godo engine to do a swap with?

#11

Yes, but less potential than the 3sgte. It'd got the neat looking valve cover though! >>

you can use 3s-gte parts for it which would lower the compression thus making better for boost.

I disagree... there are various differences b/w the Beams motor and a 3S-GTE. The main problem is compatibility in the electronics of the Beams, limitations in the crank design, *probably* with the oil coolers, etc. I know that alot of parts will swap over, but the internals of a 3S-GE cannot handle the same boost as a 3S-GTE. Besides being a pain and expensive to do, coverting a 3S-GE to a 3S-GTE (spec) is a high risk project; what I mean by this is that a 3S-GE will more than likely blow up, unless heavy modifications are done to the internals.

I believe the 3S-GTE will out perform a turbo'd Beams motor any day... especially a 3rd gen 3S-GTE...

yes, and why deface such a rare engine to turbo it? if you want to boost, just get a 3sgte, don't mess up that beautiful motor. in the end it will cost way less to go 3sgte than to turbo a 3sge.

I plan on going with the 3s-ge, turbo kinda just creates problems and you have to keep your oil really clean, which i'm not good at doing... Rivo was saying something about a supercharger for it. Besides with the 3s-gte you have to swap in the hood and bumper also for the clearence...

not the 2nd gen 3sgte, if you swap that in, and go with a FMIC, you'll be fine.

How much of a power sacrifice would that be though?

Whats the power output on the Beams? What cars had this engine?

Chrobis

#19

the ss-III, had the beams red top, 200hp. The beams engine also came in the altezza, black top with 210hp... not that far behind the 3s-gte.

And with just a (simple) boost controller, the 3s-gte will blow the 3s-ge out of the water. >>

er, not quite - check this out >>




This is from the Toyota Altezza (not lexus) TOMS 280T. It is the 3SGE BEAMS engine turboed. The 280 in the name stands for 280ps (about 277 hp).

It seems TOMS, TRD and TTE all took altezzas and produced small numbers of limited editions. The TTE version is superchanged and the TRD version is Turbocharged.

Reports from those lucky enough to own or have driven the TOMS 280T say the car is very quick with a lot of potential. Along with the turbo, TOMS also made modifications to the suspension, handling, weight, added a subtle body kit etc.

Mmmm, Turboed RWD 3S BEAMS, to my ears the only thing sweeter is 2JZ-GTE >>

Maybe I should have included "mod for mod", the 3s-gte will out perform a 3s-ge anyday... >>

So this engine is a good swap choice without the hassle of the turbo stuff.... How much they cost? and where to get one? Were they ever released in the US?
